Re: Stomps or Dry brush for blending (Traditional Art Question)
I paint rarely, but personally I prefer going the feathering route, usually taking the lighter colour over the darker (rather than the usual other way around) with a wet second brush. I've had difficulty quickly googling any articles about the technique, so I'll see what I can do when I'm not at work. -
Re: Substance Designer - Master Thread
Indeed I agree. I only have weekends and usually those weekends are stuck doing house work haha I usually get a 1 hr per day at home of something pc related though. but yep might be nice to recreate some of those nodes we know we need and love before diving into a request board. -
Re: GDC 2014 - Polycount Meetup
Last year it ran until around midnight, and the same the year before. Bars close in SF at 2:00am, so last call is usually around 1:00-ish. People usually start getting there at around 6:00pm, so there should be plenty of time to get there and hang out for a bit, or drop in and leave early if you need to. -
Re: 2D Art's Role in Learning 3D Sculpting
I think drawing is very good for helping your brain see shapes that your eyes would usually ignore when modeling. Even before I model anything, I usually try and draw my object first, so I can look for major contours that make up the silhouette. It also serves as an exercise for dealing with proportions. -
Re: Substance Painter - Master Thread
Also I was wondering if it is possible to make Painter output textures in a usual way like Designer and Photoshop. By usual I mean not squishing information between UV islands. Sometimes I want to make a single texture and use it across multiple meshes. Now I use a simple mesh plane for that but I was wondering if it is… -
Re: Characters modeling
As usual I am in love with your work. That female sculpt is spot on. She oozes femininity, the only minor thing I would have liked to see is a slightly lower hair line. Ridiculously awesome work as usual, saved to my inspiration folder many, many times over ( just so I don't miss her :) ) -
Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
Blending spec, gloss, and an environment map mask (the latter can usually be tied to the spec map if you'd like, I try not to) will achieve nice metals. I usually go completley loose with the gloss mask and make it look some-what wavy - as if the specular pass was being refracted. From there I just tone the spec and… -
Re: is there any way to fix a maya .ma file that keeps fatal erroring?
Yea it usually boils down to a guess work. Usually when this happen, first thing I remove is the plug-ins that got loaded. After that, sometimes I have to do comparison with previous version that works. Once I had to do this with After Effect files and for some reason, values that should be numbers was saved as some weird… -
Re: Freelancers - how do you get paid?
Payments in excess of 1k are usually wire, less than are usually Paypal. If it is an ongoing and very steady/stable client we set up ACH payment (US clients only). Exceedingly rarely... people send me checks! Also I technically can take Credit Cards, but I havent actually had anyone request that in over a decade. No joke. -
Re: E3 2018 June 12th - 14th - Boom here we go!
Yeh Nintendo stuff was pretty dissapointg. This year will be a desert on Switch. As usual this E3, too many shooters, zombie games, dull looking empty open worlds and lackluster indies... Death Stranding was a real surprise though. Ghost of Tsushima was breathaking visually and TLOU part 2 looks on point with ND behind the…
